I sometimes wonder why there are no 'temperature interfaces' for using cool air from the outside and making the fridge use less energy, in cold countries. Like a specialized part of the wall with some.. connection to the outside so that a specially-designed fridge could be connected via some tube there.
I'm standing in a Costco store, and they have a large walled off area for chilled produce. The entrance to this section is a square opening about 10 feet on a side. When you walk in, you notice a rapid change from room temperature to cold.
I've noticed that this temperature barrier is extremely ...
I have used English as an analogy for programming languages, but the opposite can be done here. A semicolon at the end of a statement in the C-family of programming languages is part of their syntax, whether one would read them out loud or not. Missing a semicolon at the end of a statement would cause a "syntax error". Because we don't pronounce full stops in speech doesn't mean they're not there. — ishtar7 mins ago
She first posted it as an answer. :)
I believe she's telling us that we use Capital Letters when we speak.
Which means that the Illiterate cannot speak.
Maybe we have to be Taught how to Capitalize verbs when we Speak.
Queerly ideas.
My brain is having trouble understanding what color model they're using there.
Grammatically wrong? This is vaporware gossip. Next the writing police will screen notes that are past in klass. — Yosef Baskin1 hour ago

Even if their covert messages were intercepted by the Enemy, the code talkers knew it would little avail them, for they knew the Enemy had no captive Navajo children to translate their cryptic scribblings.
Maybe that should have been (John) Wilkes (Booth).
Certain edible sea snails, especially, any one of numerous species of large marine gastropods belonging to Buccinidae, much used as food in Europe.

> From Middle English whelke, a variant of welk, from Old English weoloc, wiloc, wioloc, weluc, from Proto-West Germanic *weluk (compare Middle Dutch willoc, Dutch wulk), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn, revolve”) (whence vulva and volute). Unetymological spelling with wh- from the 15th century.
@jlliagre To be fair, the Costco separated room for fruits and vegetables which is kept cooler is bigger than most small shops outside of Costco.
and also in Costco there is a large open area with aisles of freezers and coolers for milk and cheese... not a room but one area of the unboundedly large open warehouse.
So 'single room' shop would sort of apply to an American style supermarketm (even if squished inside a labyrinthine urban setting like some Carrefour's or Mercadona's
> Outdoor retailer REI Co-op will again close its more than 190 locations—stores, distribution centers, adventure centers, call centers, and headquarters—on Thanksgiving and Black Friday and pay its 15,000 employees to Opt Outside.
@Mitch The initial point was about 'single room shop' and I agree that the open-to-the-public areas of most supermarkets are indeed single rooms while Costco's and similar 'cryotherapy rooms' are an exception.
@Cerberus I did that when I was six years old too. Well, with an umbrella. And not over a wall but from the roof to the back yard. And not to escape the oppression of Stasi informers, but to escape the oppression of not being allowed to eat candy instead of a lovingly prepared dinner or walking across a trafficked street without looking both ways.
So pretty much the same thing.
@jlliagre Exactly. That's the exception that proves the rule, while for the most part not being an exception at all.
In fact, having not too unrecently been to a Costco, there is some attempt at minimal architectural design within the warehouse space that makes each 'area' special, like the super tall shelves of dry goods (one aisle for roasted almonds, salted, and the next aisle for roasted almonds, unsalted) and the clothes area which is all accessible by arms length for low stacks of identically colored polyester track suits, which have been pawed into a queasy mess.
And then over on one side there are, next to the eye glass counter, some mini 'temp' offices, like half container size, the size of very large walkn closets, to act as mini eye doctor offices.
That is, they just trucked in externally built temp buildings, like the contractor's office at a construction site.
Especially since 'unrecently' is newly born unto this world, you're like a Magi visiting a baby Jesus.
@jlliagre hm... monetizing litotes seems like a not too remunerative endeavor.
@jlliagre But also, I had to read it a few times my self afterwards to see if it said what I meant, and, lo, as a good St. Luke would say (Am I comparing myself to St. Luke? Am I a story maker of the god? All signs point to 'Lo!")... any way as a good story teller would say, I could kinda think if I squint real hard that, yes, it sort of hand waves in that direction means maybe what I kind of thought.
@jlliagre In English? Probably mage, but that sounds like mange, which is a skin disease on hairy areas. Which I don't care for. So I don't care for the word.
I guess 'magus' would be the fancy wy to say it, and acceptable if you're playing D&D, or friends of D&D.
To be honest, I was so uncool in high school that I couldn't get into the already nerdy D&D crowd.
@Vikas Go on...
@jlliagre OK full confession... in high school I was...
There's the rodeo clown - face painted white which is uncool because makeup is for girls, but you're saving the lives of stupid boys who are torturing poor animal by simply distracting the poor animal. Also sometimes the poor animal 'gets' the rodeo clown, and that's great fun for all.
There's the circus clown - either entertaining or scaring the piss out of sticky faced 5 year olds the world over. Because sometimes they're comic book villains or actual serial killers.
There's the birthday clown - like a circus clown but failed the job interview and now freelances, no benefits and actually is sad behind the painted on smile.
@jlliagre If that is indeed your question, @Vikas, it just means emphasis is placed on the word. Sometimes people put the word in caps to show stress, but that is a bit TOO much.

I saw the word in an animal Park. Is it an animal which lives with human being?
